The simpsons Homer the powerful boxing champion Drederick Tatum in a massive star-studded boxing fight Homer does well in his first fights, mainly because he is competing against opponents who are homeless and nowhere near professional level.

At every match, he follows Moe's advice and gains widespread attention, eventually becoming the top ranked fighter in the Springfield Hobo Boxing Association.

Moe's former boxing manager Lucius Sweet visits Moe and announces that the current Heavyweight Champion Drederick Tatum is being released from prison and is ready for a comeback fight.

Sweet wants Tatum to fight Homer Simpson.
Lucius hopes that due to Homer's fame as a human punching bag, he will at least be able to endure a few rounds and give the fans a good match.

Tatum brings so much power to the ring that he knocks out opponents in one blow, which bores spectators, though Homer's amazing resilience means he could offer an actual fight.

During the fight Homer realizes he is going to get killed.
So Homer chooses to punch his opponent..

This was one of the best episodes of "The Simpsons". Love that Homer basically used his stubbornness as a tool to stay standing while being beaten senseless. But he didn't really need his smarts for his job at the Plant anyway, right?
